Bay bus rescued.
Hi guys
I found this Late Bay in a metal recycling yard last week. Previous owner gave up on this bus and took it to be cut up for scrap. She is licensed and has papers, has almost no rust (leaves in the gutter)and the interior is complete. Luckily the guys at Salvage and Recycling in Silverton Pretoria has enough brains not to destroy any cars they buy for scrap. She is mine now and is going to see many more years on the road

Re: Bay bus rescued.

Someone needs to grab that! It looks like a 74 deluxe automatic.
